Timber Construction in Burgdorf – New Estates and Older Homes
Shell house, turnkey Efficiency House or modernisation in an established residential area: MAIER & PARTNER INNOVATIVBAU builds in Burgdorf and its village districts.
Two very different building tasks in one town
Burgdorf, east of Hannover, presents clients with two quite different tasks. On the edge of town, new development areas are being laid out where plots come with clear rules on height, roof form and building envelope – here the question is a fully planned Efficiency House or a shell house in which you complete the interior yourself and save money. At the same time, the residential quarters of the 1970s hold a whole generation of single-family homes whose roofs, insulation and floor plans have reached their limits. Ehlershausen, Otze, Ramlingen, Schillerslage, Heeßel, Dachtmissen and Sorgensen add the rural stock of this asparagus-growing region, often with outbuildings and generous plots. We serve both sides: prefabricated timber frame construction for new builds, plus carpentry, roof renovation and drywall work for existing buildings. The historic old town with its half-timbering shows in passing just how durable well-built timber structures are.
Why timber makes sense in Burgdorf
In a new development area, predictability counts: wall and floor elements are made in the workshop, construction time on the plot is noticeably shorter, and because the method is dry there are no drying periods before interior fit-out. In existing buildings, weight counts: storey additions and dormers in timber load the existing structure far less than solid alternatives. Together with the good insulating performance of the construction, that makes timber a sensible material for both tasks – for new build and for modernisation alike.

What a timber home in Burgdorf costs
The biggest cost lever is the level of completion. With a shell house we build the structure, envelope and roof, and you carry out the interior yourself – which noticeably reduces the sum compared with turnkey handover. On top of that come the plot, foundations, building services and fittings standard. Fixed square-metre prices would be misleading at this point. We calculate after the design stage and then give you a firm fixed price.
Funding for new builds and modernisation
For new builds, funding depends on the Efficiency House level achieved; the Sustainable Building quality label (QNG) opens up additional programmes, and there are dedicated KfW schemes for families with children. For existing buildings, BAFA subsidises individual measures such as roof and facade insulation. Requirements and conditions change regularly – check the current position with an energy consultant before applying.

Frequently asked questions about timber construction in Burgdorf
What is included in a shell house and what do I do myself?
We supply the structure, insulated external walls, floors and the finished roof – a weathertight, closed building. Interior fit-out, screed, plumbing and decorating are down to you or your own trades. The scope is described precisely in advance so that no gap opens up between the trades later on.
Which Efficiency House level is realistic in a new estate?
Timber frame construction reaches high insulation standards well, because the insulation sits within the load-bearing layer. Which level makes sense also depends on building services, compactness and orientation. The calculation under the GEG and the classification into an Efficiency House level are done by an energy consultant.
My house in Burgdorf dates from 1975 – where do we start?
Usually with the roof, because that is where large heat losses occur and the work combines well with new covering and loft conversion. Facade and windows follow in a sensible order. A renovation roadmap sequences the steps so that later measures do not undo earlier ones.
How long does the shell take on the plot itself?
For a single-family house, assembly of the prefabricated elements usually takes a few days, after which the building is closed and weather-protected. Total construction time depends on foundations, level of completion and building services and is fixed bindingly in the construction schedule.
